NASA Renames Observatory for Fermi, Reveals Entire Gamma-Ray Sky. NASA’s newest observatory, the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, or GLAST, has begun its mission of exploring the universe in high-energy gamma rays. The spacecraft and its revolutionary instruments passed their orbital checkout with flying colors. NASA announced today that GLAST has been renamed the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The new name honors Prof. Enrico Fermi (1901 – 1954), a pioneer in high-energy physics. “Enrico Fermi was the first person to suggest how cosmic particles could be accelerated to high speeds,” said Paul Hertz, chief scientist for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “His theory provides the foundation for understanding the new phenomena his namesake telescope will discover.” Scientists expect Fermi will discover many new pulsars in our own galaxy, reveal powerful processes near supermassive black holes at the cores of thousands of active galaxies and enable a search for signs of new physical laws. For two months following the spacecraft’s June 11 launch, scientists tested and calibrated its two instruments, the Large Area Telescope (LAT) and the GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM). The LAT team today unveiled …

For all those out there who are worried about this project i have compiled a video of some of the facts i think will reassure you and show that it is not as terrifying as it seems. I was so terrified i done lots of research and realised in my own mind that this is just as safe as a computer monitor. For more information please visit CERN’s official site: public.web.cern.ch Then my site which has completely nothing to do with this video, i just thought it would be a good time to advertise it …
